But it sure beats trying to swat a kamikaze drone with your crutch after being sent on a meat wave assault.

x Siberian Gulags are back in Russia: Russian fascists set up a makeshift concentration camp on the premises of the 74th Guards Motor Rifle Brigade in Kemerovo region. Over 1,000 of their own soldiers who are wounded, insubordinate, or deserters live there in chains.

I should think if you were in the market for kamikaze drones or cheap, long-range alternatives to expensive cruise missiles, Ukraine would be the place to shop.

Now the war is getting really, really serious.

Elon must have been distracted by his current job of subverting American democracy.

It’d be a shame if Orban lost the election. Yep. A real damn shame.

x 🇭🇺⚠️ Orban's hopes that a strong economy will propel his Fidesz party to another election victory in 2026 are being challenged by a rebound in inflation, sagging household morale and even a plunge in the birth rate he so wants to boost, - Reuters

They should do it anyway. You can’t trust anyone to keep their word these days.

x Volodymyr Zelensky suggests that nukes will be Ukraine's only security guarantee against Russia if NATO refuses to step in. "So, let’s do it the following way: Give us back nuclear arms."
